It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Before Christmas tree decorating!!!!

Gabby is hanging up the baby Jesus at the highest point on the tree.

SMORES!!!!

Well, I guess you can tell from these pictures what we've been up to these past few days. We certainly had an awesome Thanksgiving eating, being with family and enjoying time off...however, Thanksgiving always marks the beginning of Christmas season for us. We decorate the Christmas tree, have our annual family slumber party, eat smores, stay up late and drink eggnog with coke. All of this is fun, yet hard work for the parents. But, it's worth it. We are anticipating what's to come this holiday season and finding out what our baby is. So many surprises!!! I love this time of year!!!! Each year holds something new for our kids stage of growing up. Mackenzie is just starting to participate and have fun with our family traditions. Alex wants whatever new toy that is advertised on TV and Gabby is well-aware of what's to come and knows what fun we have every year. We took our Christmas card pic today, and let's just say there were definitely more outtakes than usable photos, but it's all apart of the fun.
